Enough time has passed that Nehemiah Kosgei can be candid about what he did a year ago, when this Rift Valley town famous for producing world-class distance runners gained a grim new notoriety as the center of a shocking explosion of ethnic violence in Kenya.

Sipping a soda on a hotel patio, the lean, 31-year-old marathoner calmly explained how he used a friend’s sedan to ferry hundreds of poison-tipped arrows to Eldoret. In nearby villages, men from his Kalenjin tribe launched the traditional weapons at rival Kikuyus to avenge a disputed presidential election.

Grisly stories seem to hang in the air above Kenya’s Rift Valley, where many of the country’s world-class runners train.
